...as usual late, I got down late night from my train and I was on my
way home on legs. Few steps on the way
the world went dark, oh! That is a current political chaos – power cut. Are you afraid of the dark is if the question,
of course yes because that’s a hereditary gift from our forefathers which is the
mother of the invention; electricity and light.
I beheld myself and walked slowly in the dark. Few steps ahead, my leg slipped and was about
to fall when I placed my foot in a pit. Uff! My heart beats slightly
increased. I felt a slight pain as if
something had stung, could be a snake crossing the road and I interrupted it or
could be just a stone which popped out from the pit, I thought, okay I need to
walk fast. Somebody dashed me on my
chest after few more rigorous steps, somebody walked dashing me. It pained,
my heart beat increased along with my fear.
I kept walking, a baby cried, a child called his mom for help, a bird squawked,
dogs howled to make me hear the sound of my heart beats since I could not see
anything in the night. For a fetus in the
womb, wet with Amniotic fluid,
the heartbeats of the mother is the only sound which soothes and make it sleep and
kinesics – science of human gestures – says that that is one reason why we tap
our legs when we hold back our emotions and why children sleeps at tapping. But my heart beats didn’t soothe me rather
made me afraid.
Somebody came running near me and I could not see one when I stopped
but shocked when it barked. Should I bark
back to make him understand that I am not a demon in the dark! Adding fuel to fire, he barked, oh! That is
not apt here; it’s like blowing air at the burning candle in night.
I believe in guardian angel, I
called them out to help me reach or show me the light. Let whatever happen, let me fall and get
hurt, let the dog jump and suck my blood, let a snake put me into pang with its
fang I am not goanna afraid, save me my guardian angel, I prayed and I was
shown light – power supply is back. I
wiped my sweat along with my fear and walked as if I am never afraid.
I reached home. Refreshed, ate,
and lied in bed.
Replayed whatever happened before
last 30 minutes back. No visions but analyzed
all that got registered in my black box – brain.
I trembled to sustain in dark just for 10 to 15 minutes even after
growing up, with strength in body and I wondered how saplings of life – miniature
children – and matured trees of earth – elderly people sustain the darkness of
being left alone without love and care.
How did the children who were made orphan will sustain in this concrete
chaos – this world. They have to walk in
the dark without light, without somebody to hold them tight. They might slip and fall into the pit which
this society has dug for those who live in darkness. They might be cheated by love and get a hard hit
in their chest in the name of money and treasure.
They were the fetus who slept in Amniotic fluid listening to the heart beats of their
mother until they came to this mortal world.
That was the only thing which soothed them after which, I pray, somebody
teach them to pat themselves to sleep. There
are blood sucking dogs here, there are demons that could blow the burning light
of confidence and love in their heart.
Thank God!
There were few guardian angels to save them, though, they cannot be a
mom or a dad but they feed them with love, care them with agape (the
unconditional love), fuel the lamp and give them the confidence to live the
life, teach them the society and make them alive.
Though we cannot be one among the guardian angels, at least, let us
fuel their lamp and salute those guardian angels.
Come let’s join hands
like the feathers of the wings and make those torn souls fly high.
It touched my Heart Sathish.!!!
